Victims killed in 'horrific' Highway 401 crash had run-ins with law

A police source has confirmed to CBC Toronto that the two people killed in Wednesday's fatal crash on Highway 401 in Scarborough, Ont., had faced a number of charges. Dwane Koltchigin, 45, of Brampton, Ont., who police say was driving the vehicle, faced sex offences five years ago when he reportedly failed to disclose to women that he was HIV positive. He was said to go by various names, including Tre and Tre Cold, and according to court contacts, his charges appear to have been withdrawn in 2013.

A woman in her 70s is dead after she was struck and pinned under a Canada Post truck in Scarborough on Tuesday evening.

Toronto police Const. Allyson Douglas-Cook said officers were just around the corner from the scene, near Eglinton Ave. and Birchmount Rd., when the call came in at around 6:15 p.m.

The woman had no vital signs when she was freed from under the truck, Douglas-Cook added. Paramedics performed CPR, but were unable to revive her.

She was rushed to hospital in critical condition. Douglas-Cook later confirmed that the woman succumbed to her injuries.

Live footage from CP24 showed what appeared to be a red Canada Post truck stopped inside the police tape.

Douglas-Cook said the driver remained at the scene.

Eglinton Ave. has been closed both ways between Birchmount Rd. and Ironview Rd.

Police said the road will be closed for an “extensive period” while an investigation is conducted.

No charges have been laid.
